... when two people of different races apply for the same position the deciding factor is their race or beliefs instead of their qualifications. An example of this is: A white person and a black person are applying for the same job and the person hiring is white.

... that are not married. It could be time to accept the fact that "families, like everything else, evolve and change no matter how much resistance they face." Although families are at a point where they are changing, it is something the world can adjust to.

... see themselves and other races throughout the media. Firstly, the children that say they see people of their race on television are White and African-American, while Latino and Asian children are much less likely to see their race represented. “In one study, it showed that white males accounted for over fifty percent of the people of the “main” characters in each program.” (Media Awareness Network). Despite the few shows shown as colored people as the central characters there is still a long way to go. There also has been a distinct increase in the number of minority and aboriginal newscasters, both as reporters, editors and producers. “Also, in 1989 study on ...

... view. Psychological slavery has to do with the mind. It can be interpreted in two different ways, as a kind of bondage induced by one's own mind, or as control shown over someone's mind by another person. This form of slavery digs deep into a person's psyche and changes them, for the better or the worse. In Huckleberry Finn, Huck is psychologically held by his drunken, abusive father, Pap. Pap is illiterate and oppressive and threatens to Huck that he will "take some of these frills out o' you before I'm done with you" (20) because he suspects Huck of putting on airs and thinking he's better then his father. Pap treats Huck very badly, but since he is Huck's f ...

... learned how to make certain crafts, learn how to sow, and many other things. To me, that sounds awfully like a camp I was made to go to when I was young. Some people in prison even have television, others treat it like a hotel. This disgusts me! This doesn't sound at all like a prison. A prison is a place where people are supposed to be punished. Not treated like guests. There is a fin line between being punished and being over punished however. I'm not saying that each person should be beaten daily, or made to stay in a cell by themselves with no one to talk to for an eternity. The person should be punished according to the crime. "An eye for an eye." This ...
